Tides

Tides in Botricello

Today's high and low tides

  • ▼ Low tide 11:18 am 0.3 ft
  • ▲ High tide 4:50 pm 0.6 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 10:54 pm 0.2 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 4 h 5 min to high tide at 4:56 am.

In Botricello the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.6 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on October 27 (0.9 ft) and the lowest, on March 4 (-0.3 ft).

Heights above MLWS. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. MLWS

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the Crotone station (TICON-4), 18 mi from Botricello. Times and heights are its predictions.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Botricello

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · gentle breeze, Beaufort 3
Waves 1.3 ft · 5.3 s from the northeast (46°)
Swell 1.2 ft · 4.9 s from the northeast
Current 0.1 mph toward the E

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.7 ft
  • Significant1.3 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest2.7 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 2.7 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 2.7 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 4 mph NNW · gusts 7
Offshore (14 mi SSW)Offshore 9 mph NNW · gusts 15

Offshore wind. The coast faces southeast and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Offshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Monday 2: 2.2 ft with a period of 5 s, from the east-southeast (slight).

Water temperature

Water now71.4 °F
Today 71.2–71.6 °F air: 53 / 69 °F
Satellite (2 days ago) 71.4 °F measured 0.7 mi away

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+3.1 °F).

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 8:40 am to 11:40 am, combines little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high.

In Botricello the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Today the moon is 226,618 mi away and looks 32′ 45″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:15–3:15 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:47–3:47 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:45–10:45 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:49–7:49 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.35 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.5 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 2.6 mi.

From the shoreline (0.65 mi from Botricello) out to sea, heading southeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.35 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.9 mi
  • 164 ft deep2.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.35 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.5 mi and 66 ft at 0.9 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).

Source: EMODnet Bathymetry DTM 2024, here using the GEBCO grid (CC BY 4.0), cells of about 0.3 mi; depth at the lowest astronomical tide. For reference only: not for navigation or anchoring.
